Mighty Bomb Jack (Tecmo Koei/WiiU/eShop/$4.99)

Discover the hidden secrets within the pyramid, and save the royal family!

The hero of the game, Jack, must make his way through 16 levels of a pyramid in order to defeat the demon Belzebut and rescue the royal Pamera family. Each level is split into two parts: an action zone and a Royal Palace room. Action zones can be split up into several portions, and contain power-ups, such as money bags, Mighty Coins, and Mighty Drinks, usually hidden in treasure chests. Mighty Coins allow Jack to change colors, and Mighty Drinks add 10 seconds to the game's timer. However, be careful to not get greedy with collecting many too Mighty Coins or Mighty Drinks. Otherwise, you'll find yourself doing jumping jacks in the Torture Room!

Life Force (Konami/3DS/eShop/$4.99)

Protect the galaxy from being on the food menu for a very hungry space monster!

Pilot the Vic Viper solo through six stages of intense action, alternating between horizontally and vertically scrolling environments, and take on wave after wave of enemies. Destroy particular enemies throughout the game—all of which takes place within the body of an enormous alien—to release power-up capsules and equip your ship with your choice of more powerful weapons, extra speed, and shields. Utilize the power-ups carefully, though, as a fearsome guardian lurks at the end of each stage and won’t be easily defeated. You can go at it alone, or invite a friend to pilot the RoadBritish and assist in the challenge. Do you have what it takes to save your planet from the monstrous Zelos?
